Small decorative top hats, custom made and worn at a jaunty angle
A mini topper is a miniature top hat - the tall-crowned silhouette shrunk to a decorative size and worn perched at an angle rather than pulled down like a full top hat. It belongs to parties, racing outfits, weddings, stage costume and steampunk-influenced dress, anywhere a full top hat would be too much and a fascinator not quite enough. The maker listed here is a custom milliner: Hats by Katie, whose stylish, quality hats are made to order. Katie began making hats as a sideline after struggling to find hats that were attractive and fit well; as her carriage driving career developed, so did the hats she made for family and friends, until the hobby became the full-time business whose custom hats are now worn around the world.

Hats by Katie : Stylish,
quality custom made hats. Katie started making hats
as a side line, having had a difficult time finding hats that were
attractive and fit well. As Katie's carriage driving career developed, so
did the variety of hats Katie made for family and friends. Eventually, this
hobby blossomed into a full time occupation: thus, HATS by KATIE came into
existence. Known for hats of style and quality that are worn around the
world, Katie's custom hats are her pride and joy. " I enjoy working with a
customer - one on one - to create a wonderful hat that will compliment their
outfit."

A mini topper is worn as an accessory, not as head covering: perched forward or to one side, at the angle that suits the face and hairstyle. Because it does not grip like a full hat, it is secured with a headband, elastic, combs or clips depending on the maker's finish - worth confirming when ordering, especially for a long event or dancing. Scale is the styling judgment: the hat should read as a deliberate miniature, large enough to show its top hat shape - flat tall crown, narrow curled brim, ribbon band - and small enough to stay playful rather than costume-heavy.
Custom making suits this category well because the hat must coordinate with one specific outfit. Hats by Katie works one to one with customers to create a hat that complements their outfit, and its range spans felt hats, Gatsby hats and Panama hats alongside mini toppers, so a maker can match materials across a look. Discuss colors and trim early, allow making time before a dated event, and ask how the finished piece should be stored - a small structured hat keeps its shape best in its own box, away from anything that can crush the crown.
